So first, thanks you very much for your fast (!) replies and help!! :) Now I had again some time to dig into it.

The "Ubuntu Software-Center" is a useless piece of commercial software advertising tool... But the good old apt did the job, "apt-cache" to be precise: $ apt-cache search mesa | grep mesa | grep dev mesa-common-dev - Entwicklerdokumentation für Mesa libegl1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the EGL API -- development files libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev - free implementation of the OpenGL API -- development files libgles1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the OpenGL|ES 1.x API -- development files libgles2-mesa-dev - free implementation of the OpenGL|ES 2.x API -- development files libglu1-mesa-dev - Mesa OpenGL utility library -- development files libopenvg1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the OpenVG API -- development files libosmesa6-dev - Mesa Off-screen rendering extension -- development files libglw1-mesa-dev - A free implementation of the OpenGL API -- development files libegl1-mesa-dev-lts-quantal - free implementation of the EGL API -- development files libgl1-mesa-dev-lts-quantal - free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX development files libgles1-mesa-dev-lts-quantal - free implementation of the OpenGL|ES 1.x API -- development files libgles2-mesa-dev-lts-quantal - free implementation of the OpenGL|ES 2.x API -- development files libopenvg1-mesa-dev-lts-quantal - free implementation of the OpenVG API -- development files mesa-common-dev-lts-quantal - Developer documentation for Mesa libgl1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX development files Now I'm not sure which ones to pick, from your fedora repo list I would assume I have to pick: libgl1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX development files libegl1-mesa-dev - free implementation of the EGL API -- development files What do you think? Does this sound reasonable? Any other hints?

You seem to lack the development packages, on Fedora thats $ rpm -qa | grep mesa | grep devel mesa-libGL-devel-9.1-3.fc18.x86_64 mesa-libEGL-devel-9.1-3.fc18.x86_64 On Tuesday, May 14, 2013 3:26:13 PM UTC+1, Ursin Solèr wrote: does not work. There is no package mesa in ubuntu repos, but mayavi2 and it work's (without a mesa package). What is mesa for? Is it hardware specific (ati, nvidia)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
